Now...if I may ask a rookie question...what exactly is ACE, and how is it measured? (I hear you guys mention ACE so much but I've never really understood it, lol)
-
Sorry, I haven't been on this thread the last couple days. Deleting post...smh
-
Uh...am I just imagining things, or are we seeing a bit of that wildfire haze all the way over here? I mean I glanced up at the sun a few minutes ago and it did seem a little hazy...
-
Didn't know "real tropical poster" was a prerequisite for posting...lol Now I will admit my general geography skills aren't the best, but this I still say the image was kind of a quiz question because of there being no other point of reference visible (I'm used to looking at it in relation to Texas, lol)
-
Thank you for KINDLY zooming that out instead of trolling. I had forgotten there was a disturbance there.
-
Man go jump in a gulf...(but don't drown)
-
Which one is that, and why the "hmm"? Lol
-
Lamar continuing to look Lamarkable! Other than the TD passes...my favorite pass had to be that beautiful 47-yarder to Hollywood in the first half. That shows he's been working on his deep ball! And overall...dude somehow looked sharper today! If he has indeed gotten even BETTER at passing...whoa boy, watch out!
-
I gotcha--thanks! Welp, now that we're about to head into Greek territory, may as well call the Atlantic the frat/sorority house and be done with it, lol
-
Or Yamcha...
-
If I may ask a rookie question...why do they skip over the letter Q? Because there aren't as many Q names? (same question for X, Y, and Z?)
-
You'd think!
-
I pray that you're right...We haven't had any good surprises in a little while, so who knows? Good part is we ain't going into it with lofty expectations of any kind...so why not? Lol
-
Got a question about this...Why is it that areas in the southern half of the state seem to be more prone to severe weather? Or am I just imagining that? (Seems like the northeast part of the state sees a little more too...nothing like an Aberdeen/northeast, MD thunderstorm, lol)
-
Dang so what is this...just a southern MD/DC event? Had no idea this was an "event" per se...I knew it was supposed to be heavy rain or whatever but...dang, lol
-
See I'm expecting to see plenty more blue on the screen due to la nina...but I'm just keeping any hopes it'll be blue in the right places at a BARE minimum if that, lol
-
Dang I had to strain to see that! Lol
-
What do you mean, dude? Lol
-
Bathetic? Lol
-
I am so glad I wasn't on this board back then...because I really was not aware of what the models had been showing a few days before! I mean the miss still hurt, but it's just not as vivid...so ignorance was bliss, lol But knowing what I do now about ninas...I woulda never trusted that until it was a maxium of 12 hours away!
-
Now if you would...and apologies if I'm sounding a bit jumbled... I'm trying to figure out visually what is required blocking-wise to get what we got in 1996. Let's say we compare the December 2010 heartbreaker with the blizzard of 96. Now visually...I remember the snowfall predictions of Dec. 2010 being increased on the northeast part of the map. What would have needed to happen to push that storm much further southwest so that we get hit flush? Would the blocking we had in 1996 have gotten that done?
-
I think this picture here should resolve all arguments about why our geography is bad during ninas: Man THIS is nina at her worst here. An incredibly annoying topography lesson right here, lol (this was from March 2018 I believe...what I call the great lakes low SCREW-OVER )
-
Not expecting it to "change"...actually I'm dreading a change for the worse. Prior to this stretch, it seemed more predictable; every 3-5 years you were guaranteed to see one actual above average winter. But now...we are pushing that. 2016 will have been 5 years ago this winter. Looking at our records...only twice did we go more than 4-5 years without going above the 20" mark (that's a personal mark for me that separates good from great. I'm lowering the bar for "decent" to 18"). But point is, you could time it with a watch the last 30 years: 3-4 years...you get a 12" snowstorm, 6-7 years...a 2-footer. Before 1990...you still got above 20" every 3-4 years with or without one huge snowfall. But now...I hear talk of that dang Hadley cell or whatever and I'm wondering it that's gonna muck up our climo and make snow even harder to get. So if anything, I'm fearing change in that direction...and I hope it won't go that way.
-
There's not much difference between median and mea...just three inches, lol (median=15 and average=18 does it not?) And dude...I AM trying to have realistic expectations. The heck do you think I'm trying to figure this out for? To figure out just what TO expect, because that definition has shifted since 2016. I'm not locked onto any solution or expectation...but yes, I am a bit concerned about having to wait more years in between than we've had to the last 30 years...it's a bit of a depressing prospect. Hoping for the best, though... And no I can't relocate anytime soon (kinda how folks toss that around as if everybody can uproot their lives at the drop of a hat just for snow, lol)
-
And dude...we might be about to test that a bit...gonna be five years this year, lol Man I hope stuff ain't broke in such a way that we gotta start waiting even longer for big winters! Life on this side is too short to have to wait 6+ years for an above average winter, lol My biggest fear is that stuff is so broke big winters are gonna be even harder to come by, smh
